Oaxaca Mexico: Endemic plants in-situ. Amateur botany- bizarre succulent plants.

This is the 3rd installment in my Oaxaca series. This trip was a botanical quest unlike any other as we've seen in the previous videos the landscapes are varied and truly as unique as the succulent flora with in them. Today I spend time exploring an area filled with Mammillarias, Agaves, Hectias, bursera as well as many other plants which I may not be able to identify.
I hope you enjoy this. The quest continues.....

As a lunatic, you are not alone! Love your excitement and enthusiasm!

[@katiedotson704]

Whoever the stewards of this land are, I appreciate them much. We all could learn a great deal from them.

So cool that you could be there with the person who named the plant what a great video 🎉🎉🎉

[@chrismc1975]

Oh I really enjoyed this one Hunter! I have a soft spot for agaves and mamms Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us, a very special location and I found so many aspects very intriguing. Please keep sharing more from this beautiful part of our world 🌵

Christine I will most certainly keep it going. Thank you for the words of encouragement!

[@andyroo3022]

Me too, only crazy people love plants and animals apparently.

[@plantitasarcoirismimi]

Muchísima variedad en ese desierto y tanta belleza junta, me encantaría poder velos en su hábitat natural. thanks for sharing 💚🌵

[@AceOfSpadesX]

One day you have to make a trip to the Succulent Karoo in Namaqualand southern Africa! So many unique species of succulents, about 15% of the world's total

[@davidbianco6234]

Muy Bueno ! Muchas Gracias por mostrar tanta hermosura ! Saludos desde Córdoba ( Argentina)

[@tombirt5989]

Nice to see Greg Starr in habitat. I wish I knew what species of Neobuxbaumia that was. The spineless condition has surprised me, although towards the end of the video the damage shown looks like it's caused by burning exotic grass.

[@HOODBOSS5000]

🎉🎉🎉 that section of Mammillaria is nuts 😮

[@CactusQuest]

Thanks man

[@heatherstephens9295]

So amazing seeing these in their natural habitat - thank you 👍👍

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Whatever those agave are called, they're fantastic. I love that hard-grown, habitat look - such a contrast to my UK grown greenhouse specimens 😆

[@1ntwndrboy198]

Don't like the taste of tequila and now I know why. Agave is related to the asparagus and I don't like asparagus. Thanks for helping figure it out 😜👍✌️

[@glovanajnbaptiste2272]

Awesome 🌵🌵🌵

[@user-kq1jp6xb2l]

Большое спасибо за Вашу работу. Очень интересно!

[@NilmaMariaTeixeiradeMour-dn4cp]

Muito bom parabéns moço ❤😂

[@mickoz9389]

Greetings from Australia! Great video. Keep them coming for we that will never get there... Really interesting to see that orchid (Laelia or Encyclia??) growing in such a dry area. I presume is the opposite during the wet season. And the gypsum! oh the gypsum... Thanks. I look forward to the next!

[@ZiggySearchfieldCactus]

Excellent 😎🌵🌵

[@sergiorosales5314]

Beutiful place

[@ImQuiteGay]

my grandparents have a huge blue agave growing in the center of their yard. its been growing for a long time.

[@chucktaylor4958]

Taxonomy is in a transition today, maybe as it has alway existed.

[@mriqbaljaved]

Nice variation of plants growing there; I was hoping you can include the opuntia cacti on your vlogs as well.

[@newmanmansell760]

Very interesting Hunter😊🙏Yes, why do the cacti grow biggest on the gypsum? Could it be that seed germinate very easily anywhere, but because the gypsum is difficult for any other plants do the cacti easily grow and can grow bigger? Anyway, please enlighten me on my idea🙏I enjoyed watching buddy🤘😊

[@CactusQuest]

I don’t know that the gypsum causes them to grow large, those columnar Cacti have that programming for tall, gross coded into the genetics. Take the Mammillaria that was growing there. For example, it was quite small, so I really don’t know it’s intriguing to say the least.

[@melissasueferrin3409]

A great video, I shared it with my readers, at Undiscovered Oaxaca

[@CactusQuest]

Awesome, thank you! Appreciate that.

[@ChopsticksDIYGarden]

Amazing place. Wish your camera work was a bit better though.

[@fianwibawa9587]

Thanks dude... Make me know natural habitat sukulen.... Regards from indonesia

[@wadeolsson856]

WHATS THE TREE AT 6:49! cool tree!

[@chucktaylor4958]

What species was the giant grass you walked through?

[@trent83]

привет бро, а поскольку там не бывает дождей?

[@allancurtis3342]

Another amazing video,just love the part where yo finally realize you are a lunatic😂.Keep them coming bro...

[@CactusQuest]

Bahaha. One of my favorite parts too.

[@CactusQuest]

Thank you!

[@christinaeilers3562]

Besides the dog, did you see any wildlife?

[@CactusQuest]

Yeah we saw a mongoose actually but couldn’t catch it on film. Fish in the river and so many different types of birds lizards spiders.

[@christinaeilers3562]

@@CactusQuest how awesome! I hope that dog belonged to someone.

[@CactusQuest]

@@christinaeilers3562 yeah it was the dog of one of the land owners but certainly wouldn't be the first time to find a stray deep in the wilderness

Moving the camera too fast , zooming in and out. Cool site but got a little dizzy lol 😵‍💫

[@CactusQuest]

Noted, sorry dude.

[@zcoanmcoan1534]

10:15 that doesnt look like a mystax...

[@tombirt5989]

You're right. Maybe M. carnea

[@mickoz9389]

That's what I though as well. I have a compressa (??) which looks very similar.

[@mendongwu]
